Startups, ex Google. Building @grasplyapp to make learning more effective and engaging using AI flashcards.

[Albert Aleksieiev @albert_keyj]

🚀 It was an exciting experience to share my journey at AI Builders Amsterdam yesterday, sharing how I am building @grasplyapp

👾 People loved the interactive games during the presentation.

🎯It proves we’re moving in the right direction to build a better education experience.

[Grasply @grasplyapp]

🤯 Big Grasply update!
We added a new Activity Dashboard, faster flashcard generation, mixed quiz sessions, better study history, and a fresh magical redesign.

Now you can:
📊 track streaks + weekly activity
🧠 replay past sessions before exams
⚡ generate flashcards up to 3× faster
🎮 mix MCQ, Yes/No & Fill in the Blank
✨ study in a cleaner, smoother app

Here’s what changed 👇

Quick overview of what’s happening with GPT-5.5 pricing - and where token costs are likely headed.

[Grasply @grasplyapp]

Feels like the era of “subsidized” cheap models is ending 👀

But weirdly… that might be good for good engineers.

Played with GPT-5.5 for coding. At first, with Cursor’s 50% discount, it looks priced like Codex 5.3…

Then you realize the extra checks, git diffs, validations, retries are quietly burning way more tokens.

So yeah, it ends up costing more anyway.

And this is where skill starts mattering again: not just “who can prompt,” but who can design workflows that ship quality code efficiently.

For now, Codex 5.3 + Composer 2 still wins for me.

📰 Paper applies limitations to the way we read.

🎮 In the concept/experiment, you can walk in 3D, dive deeper, and play flashcards if you find something inspiring.

[Albert Aleksieiev @albert_keyj]

I finally wrote about my builder journey and why I’m building @grasplyapp.

Flashcards is just one way make learning deeper.

From OG highlights to interactive reading (1D → 3D) - here’s what I learned:

@poetengineer__ Looks awesome! Any sourcecode to try? 😅

[Grasply @grasplyapp]

🔍 Built a Quote Finder that tries to understand the emotion behind searches - to inspire:

1 - Provide any text
2 - Receive an inspiring quote

🚀 It's really useful for motivation in education. Sometimes, one quote can inspire your entire journey.

@SwiftLang Good job! Nice to see this is finally happened 🚀
I was part of this while ago, but we were a small team trying to adopt Swift on Android, and we built it.
Meanwhile bigger JetBrains team took the lead and adopted Kotlin for IO’s, so now it running without any problems natively.
